7) Whale sharks can dive a mile deep and travel for thousands of miles.

8) Whale sharks are late bloomers; they don’t get romantic until their late 20s / early 30s.

9) Whale sharks have an impressive lifespan; shorter estimates have them at 70 years, however, they may be ‘supercentenarians’, living up to 150 years of age! We’re not entirely sure, no one has studied them *that* long!

10) Whale sharks are not only the largest fish in the sea, +30 ft in length / weighing around 10 tons, they are also among the largest fish EVER to have existed. Officially, the largest was 41.50 ft / 21.5 tons, rivaling prehistoric sizes, such as their not-so-benign and extinct (or so they say ;o) cousin the Megalodon, which is believed to have been somewhat larger.
